Sew What's and some quilts to admire that are on display at the City of Mesquite, Tx.

I went to my small group meeting last night and we worked on making heart pillows. We make these pillows and give to various hospitals in our area for breast cancer patients and heart patients. (Presbyterian Hospital has received these in the past but I just took 9 bags -120 pillows in all- to them a few weeks ago and they can't get anymore right now. They don't have anymore room for them!) We got alot done but I didn't count them all. We had a great time chatting and visiting too while stuffing and sewing up the pillows. Several cut out, one sewed, one ironed, and many stuffed. It was a great assembly line and a great way to get things done in a hurry for charity. We've done this before when we made baby quilts for the area hospitals.

We only had a few people bring show and tell, but, guess what, my camera was dead. So, no pictures from our meeting. They are going to tell me about this one, I'm sure...

Today:I left work a little early this afternoon and went over to the City of Mesquite. I have three quilts on display there along with about 36 other quilts and I took picturs of all of them. The city asked us to display our quilts to advertise for our upcoming show next weekend. We have a quilt show every year the weekend after Father's Day. So, here are the quilts that were on display. Most of these are ribbon winners from year's past and some are not, but all are beautiful quilts. I hope you enjoy them and if you get a chance and are in the neighborhood, please come to the Quilt show.

The show is at Rutherford Recreation Center900 Rutherford Dr.Mesquite, Tx. 75149June 25 and 26, 2010. The doors open at 10am and close at 5pm. We have vendors, demonstrations, door prizes and a Mini quilt auction.Here's a sample of the workmanship you will see at our little show. We have some very talented women in our group and they love to show their talents off....Enjoy the samples...

This one is on permanent display at the City of Mesquite. It was made by a friend of mine and has all the firefighters on it. My friend, Nancy made this for the Fire Dept. a few years back. Her husband was a fireman for Mesquite and is now retired. This is an amazing quilt and she did a wonderful job on this quilt.

About Me

In 1992, I started watching a quilting show(by accident) and my first thought was, who would want to make quilts? The more I watched, the more intrigued I became... I haven't been able to stop quilting since - nor do I want to. Now I think a day without quilting is like a day without sunshine....I love it and can't get enough of it. Quilting has always been my favorite thing to do but tatting and knitting come in a close second....
